It's hardly fair, being limited to a list of only ten, and having to avoid blogs already named (which unreasonably excludes the wisdom of Minor Wisdom and the blonde-ness of Blonde Justice) and non-law blogs (you'll miss the coyote's siren song of Creek Running North, the firebell in the night at Orcinus, the curious absence of monkey or disaster in Monkey Disaster).

So, facing the limitations of the playing field as any good public defender should, here's a list - not the list - of Top Ten Legal Blogs:

Diolch yn fawr! (Welsh expression of gratitude - I dare you to pronounce it) Your recommendation of my blog feels to be the rough eqivalent of having attained the level of the Pencerdd - again, Welsh, for a bardd recognized as master of the craft. Your recognition and recommendation offsets the punch in the face as well; if my clients are at times abusive, at least an esteemed professional colleague thinks my words and work have something of merit.

Thank you. May your journey be long and filled with moments of inspritation.
